Dynamic user profile templates in Next.js

I want to build a templating engine for user profiles. After picking a design, which might consist of HTML, CSS, and JS, I would like to be able to server-side/static render a users profile page using their chosen template.

I'm looking for a good place to start / for someone to point me in the right direction. Assuming there are templates already stored in a database, or saved as files to AWS, how might I dynamically load and render the template along with the users profile data using Next.js? What might be an optimal way of storing the templates?

Thank you,

Try use nextjs GetStaticProps or GetStaticPatch

https://nextjs.org/docs/basic-features/data-fetching/get-server-side-props https://nextjs.org/docs/basic-features/data-fetching/get-static-props

write this function in some NextPage file

export async function getStaticProps(context) {
  //all logic done here will be rendered server-side.
  return {
    props: {}, // will be passed to the page component as props
  }
}

It can consume a database within this layer, do not want to use an external API, in some projects I use the ORM Prisma to facilitate the process.

https://www.prisma.io/nextjs

// Fetch all posts (in /pages/index.tsx)
export async function getStaticProps() {
  const prisma = new PrismaClient()
  const posts = await prisma.post.findMany()

  return {
    props : { posts }
  }
}
